A lot (I don't know if it's been quantified exactly how much) of the initial sales for "Renegades" can probably be sourced to the Jeep ads as well.

Yeah, but why increase familiarity and sales just of this one particular song? A bunch of corporate radio programmers must like it, so it's basically being fed to people as a hit (unlike Renegades and SOB, which were already popular with listeners before any radio deals were made)
Instead of having huge deals like this for random songs, I'd much rather have smaller deals for a wider range of songs, so that more songs get exposure, and then listeners can take it from there and decide which ones they really like

This is growing on me. Although the "Trip, switch", part is a little off-putting, I'll probably get over that soon enough.
A bit surprised this is exploding up the chart so fast, even with an OTV deal. Not complaining though.

"Renegades" ,"2 Heads" etc...are songs that I feel need those OTV deals to get Alt airplay. This song is Alt heaven. Maybe they got the deal so they can slaughter the chart?

What I meant was, that those are the types of songs that i think would need pushes to get on Alt. "Trip Switch" is natural song to smash on the format.

Mixed feelings about this song approaching the top 10. While I really want the song to have its success as I really like it and it adds diversity to the chart, I also don't like the fact that this had to pass Foals as I want them to go top 10 (and with Weezer and X Ambassadors moving fast, MAMG going top 10 is less likely)

This caught my attention very quickly as an unrecognized song I heard on the radio. I seriously thought it was Civil Twilight. I enjoyed it very much, but was kind of mad thinking about how hard Civil Twilight has to struggle to get a hit these days when a song like this can just walk right into the top 20 without breaking a sweat, but that was before I read here about the Otv thing. Guess it's just the world we live in.

It's not clear that either will though, although they'll both be close.

I honestly love the chorus on this, but the verses do absolutely nothing for me.

I honestly love the chorus on this, but the verses do absolutely nothing for me. I was just thinking about that this morning as it came on my local station on my way to work. The chorus is pretty powerful and well-done. The rest of the song isn't memorable at all as I've heard the song probably around 30-40 times by now.

According to Mediabase "taking off" section; "Ban All The Music", seems poised for single #2. Also very good for alt and more guitar oriented than "Panic Switch". I bit harder in sound and I like that.

Their album also just came out in the US. It's really good, a nice mix of insanely catchy upbeat songs and beautiful slow tracks.
I'd like one of "Itch", "Wake Up Call", and "Ban All The Music" to be the next single (listed in order of preference). If they want to go with a slower song then "Graveyard Whistling" or "If I Get High" would probably work fine.

I like them. They're 3 for 3 with me so far. (I've only heard 3 of their songs lol) This, "Itch" and "Ban All The Music" are all really good. I like the lead singer's voice a LOT. I wish more alternative sounded like this... I'll need to listen to their album.

Lol so this has grown on me in a full day of me giving it a shot. I've had the chorus stuck in my head all day. We'll see if the verses come around for me.

I like Ban All The Music, mainly because of its inclusion on Guitar Hero

This album could have 3 or 4 singles from it - IMO the Robert Plant-type vocals are pretty amazing

This album could have 3 or 4 singles from it - IMO the Robert Plant-type vocals are pretty amazing I agree. Their debut is fantastic. I imagine they'll go for something heavier like Itch or Ban All the Music for single 2, but Lover Please Stay and If I Get High are both amazing. Conor's vocals are some of the best I've ever heard.

I remember when people were posting (maybe 6 months ago) that we needed more harder-edged talent on Alt radio - I feel like this is it right here
IMO either Ban All The Music or Itch should be next, and then Honey Whiskey after that - can also picture Hostage and Wake Up Call as singles

My personal hope for the next single is Wake Up Call, Excuse Me, Itch or Ban All the Music.

Fuck the album is amazing. "Itch" and "Wake Up Call" need to be huge hits.
